Chris Christie on Technology

Put more Motor Vehicle Commission functions online

Technology upgrades, enhanced security operations & expanded services are the foundation of the Christie Administration's plan to help customers avoid unnecessary trips to their local Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) agencies. The modernizations are at the
forefront of the MVC's future technology investments to streamline operations & enhance customer service. Some of the MVC's accomplishments under the Christie Administration include:

The MVC plans to introduce license renewals by mail during 2012
and on-line before the end of 2012. This will make it so that drivers will only need to visit a MVC facility once every eight years to obtain a new photo, which is required by federal law, resulting in less crowding at MVC facilities by potentially more
than a million people a year.

The MVC will begin the use of facial recognition technology in 2012.

Service hours were expanded to 54 hours per week (the most ever offered), which includes evening service once per week, and Saturday service.
